New York Street Food

Eat|Drink|Explore Malaysia at Grand Central Station

Malaysia Kitchen has been very active in bringing Malaysian food to NYC over the past few years.

They first came onto our radar in October 2010 when they had a Malaysia Kitchen food truck making the rounds of various neighborhoods for a couple of weeks.

In subsequent years, there have been several Malaysian markets, with a beautiful installation in Grand Central Station (above), a night market in Dumbo, and now, a Malaysian Winter Market this week in Bryant Park.

If you’re interested in eating a healthy lunch from a food truck, Now Eat This!is a good option.  All menu items are supposed to be under 350 calories, and are based on recipes from a cookbook of the same name by Rocco Di Spirito.

Similar to his UK colleague Jamie Oliver, Rocco is on a mssion to teach people, especially children, how to cook and eat healthily.  One of the first things they teach is that food can be delicious and healthy – these two things are not mutually exclusive.

I’ve tried a few things from the Now Eat This! truck since it first came out last November, ranging from excellent (chicken broccoli stir fry) to ok (lasagna bolognese).

With a few new items on the menu, it was time for a return trip for the chicken satay ($9) and vanilla panna cotta with a caramel sauce ($3) for dessert.

If you like to travel and eat (or to read about it), Migrationology is a pretty interesting website.

The latest installment is a video of Mark’s 12-hour street food binge in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Enjoy!
